点评:We booked a 2-day 1-night hike through the knuckles, staying in a local homestay with Hema. It was hands down the highlight of our trip!
Despite it raining (very heavily 😅) for most of the time we were hiking, we still had so much fun and enjoyed our time.
Hema was kind, welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and very organised with the tour. The tour was family run and personal, one of our highlights was enjoying refreshments with Hema after the hike and sharing stories. My mum has recently had a surgery and was very nervous about hiking, however he helped her to feel very reassured and confident. She was able to hike 25km over the two days, which was an amazing accomplishment for her!
Hema and his porta were able to adapt the hiking routes so that my parents were able to hike within their ranges, and I also got to have a bit of an extra challenge. We also had to ‘adventure hike’, adapting the hike on the second day due to the heavy rainfall (not being able to cross the river), but still had amazing views.
Hema and his portas were so helpful, always there to offer a hand if needed.
And the food!! AMAZING! The best food we have had during our time in Sri Lanka. Hema’s wife prepared the most delicious meal that we ate at a waterfall, and later we enjoyed a beautiful home cooked meal from the hosts at the homestay.
The homestay was comfortable, with everything that you need (except hot water - but on a hot day this would be very welcomed!), and the hosts were so kind.
We highly recommend that you book this experience, you will have an amazing time! Be prepared for lots of leeches, however Hema and his team are experts in managing these and are an inevitable part of hiking anywhere in LK.
Thank you so much Hema and your whole team, we are so grateful for this special experience ✨❤️
翻译:我们预订了 2 天 1 夜的 Knuckles 徒步旅行,住在 Hema 的当地寄宿家庭。这绝对是我们旅行的亮点!
尽管徒步旅行的大部分时间都在下雨(非常大 😅),但我们仍然玩得很开心,享受了这段时光。
Hema 很友善、热情、乐于助人、知识渊博,并且非常有条理地安排了这次旅行。这次旅行是家庭式的,非常私人,我们的亮点之一是徒步旅行后与 Hema 一起享用茶点并分享故事。我妈妈最近做了手术,对徒步旅行非常紧张,但他帮助她感到非常放心和自信。她能够在两天内徒步 25 公里,这对她来说是一项了不起的成就!
Hema 和他的导游能够调整徒步路线,以便我的父母能够在他们的范围内徒步旅行,我也遇到了一些额外的挑战。我们还不得不“冒险徒步”,由于大雨(无法过河),第二天的徒步行程有所调整,但仍然有令人惊叹的美景。
Hema 和他的搬运工非常乐于助人,如果需要,他们总是在那里伸出援手。
还有食物!!太棒了!这是我们在斯里兰卡期间吃过的最好的食物。Hema 的妻子为我们准备了最美味的一餐,让我们在瀑布边吃,后来我们在寄宿家庭享用了主人烹制的美味家常菜。
寄宿家庭很舒适,有你需要的一切(除了热水 - 但在炎热的天气里,热水会非常受欢迎!),主人也非常友善。
我们强烈建议您预订这次体验,您将度过一段美妙的时光!准备好面对大量的水蛭,然而 Hema 和他的团队是处理这些水蛭的专家,它们是在 LK 徒步旅行时不可避免的一部分。
非常感谢 Hema 和你们的整个团队,我们非常感谢这次特别的体验 ✨❤️
